        Skip Downloading Additional Languages
      </h3>
      <p className="mb-4">
        This optimization configures APT to skip downloading additional language packages, which can save disk space and
        speed up package operations.
      </p>
      <p className="mb-4">
      <strong className="block">Why it's beneficial:</strong>
        By skipping unnecessary language packages, you can reduce disk usage and
        improve the speed of package management operations. This is particularly useful in server environments where
        multiple language support is often not required.

      </p>
      <p className="mb-4">
      <strong className="block">Why it's beneficial:</strong>
        Accurate timekeeping is crucial for many system operations, log
        consistency, and proper functioning of time-sensitive applications. Automatic synchronization ensures your
        Proxmox VE system maintains the correct time without manual intervention.

        Update and Upgrade System
      </h3>
      <p className="mb-4">
        This optimization updates the system's package lists, upgrades installed packages, and configures Proxmox
        repositories. It also includes additional steps to properly set up Debian repositories, disable certain
        warnings, and perform safety checks after the update process.
      </p>
      <p className="mb-4">
      <strong className="block">Why it's beneficial:</strong>
        Keeping your system up-to-date is essential for security, stability, and
        performance. This optimization ensures you have the latest patches and features, while also configuring the
        correct repositories for Proxmox VE, enabling access to necessary updates and tools. The disk metadata check helps prevent potential issues with storage devices that may have been modified by virtual machines.

        <h4 className="text-lg font-semibold mb-2 text-black">Post-Update Safety Check</h4>
        <p className="text-gray-700 mb-2">
          After updating the system, the script performs an important safety check to detect disks with old PV (Physical Volume) headers that might have been modified by virtual machines.
        </p>
        <p className="text-gray-700 mb-2">
          <strong>Why this matters:</strong> When VMs have direct access to disks through passthrough, they can sometimes modify the disk metadata. This can cause issues with storage management on the host system, potentially leading to data access problems or errors when using LVM (Logical Volume Manager).
        </p>
        <p className="text-gray-700">
          If any issues are detected, the script will display a warning message and suggest running the <code className="bg-gray-100 px-1 py-0.5 rounded text-black">pvs</code> command to identify the affected disks. This early detection helps prevent potential storage problems before they impact your system.
